Abe’s overnight trip canceled, so he took the day off on Friday. It was so wonderful to have an extra day with him! We drove to Salt Lake to drop my mom off so she could visit with one of her Stanford friends, and while she was visiting we went to Red Butte Gardens and just relaxed (um, as much as that is possible while also chasing Ammon AND Clarissa around) there. The weather was PERFECT and everything was gorgeous and peaceful.
After the gardens, we picked up lunch and then visited Tom, who is recovering from kidney cancer. We sat in the back yard visiting and eating not-yet-ripe grapes. You can see Clarissa’s reaction in this short photo series:
Abe took pictures of everyone in the family, too:
After we finished up in Salt Lake, we came back, grilled some veggie burgers and brats outside, put the kids down and binged on Game of Thrones. Oh, and I had ice cream too!! It’s the first sugar I’ve had in weeks. I don’t know how I feel about that, but the cravings were all consuming. I felt better after eating the ice cream, I can say that much.
